Coming out of Jersey City, emcee Subtext has been wrecking microphones
locally for several years now. Backed by rugged, sample-heavy production of
Brooklyn's DJ Ian Head (AWOL Magazine), The Opening Salvo EP displays
Subtext's combination of fiercious mic styles and meaningful, intricate lyrics.
Check out party-knocker "Everydamnbody," the reflective "Dream of Life" or
bump "Lower the Boom" in the ride to get a feel for Subtext's versatality with the pen and pad. The Opening Salvo EP represents a breath of fresh air for hip-hop heads thirsting for hard beats and raw rhymes that look to the future as much as they root themselves in the golden era's past.
NEW music video for "The Essence" directed by Common Sky.

What do you think of these newly discovered crime scene photos (viewed at Abu-Jamal-News.com)?
I have been personally contacting every media outlet I could find and still the mainstream media has completely ignored the story. Many independent media outlets have covered it, but the only independent outlet that has actually published one of the photos is the national Black newspaper, The SF Bay View (click here).
This is just the latest episode in a long history of corporate media bias (and arguably racism) towards Mumia and other political prisoners.
